I really liked No. 2.

Sharpie your cell phone number on your kid's belly

"When we go to crazy places like amusement parks and fairs, we just use a Sharpie and write on the kids' stomachs "My mom's cell # is...." The kids are all drilled on what to do if they get lost, and we have photos of them at Disneyland and everywhere else, flashing their bellies with the emergency plan. "

#7 Struck a chord. I'm guilty of using Youtube to entertain my 8 month old. There is a video of a baby laughing always cracks me up and my daughter laughs, talks and tries to kiss the baby on the monitor.
